The protocol I'm referring to can be found in section 33.8 of this document https://uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/UEFI%20Spec%202_7_A%20Sept%206.pdf A basic/rough implementation of this protocol can be found here https://hg.sr.ht/~scoopta/NekOS/browse/default/inc/efi_hii.h I figured it might be a good idea to get this upstreamed in a more complete fasion in case anyone else needed it. I might be able to sit down and actually finish the protocol but I'm not really sure I have time to.

You need to submit a formal patch for this to go in.

gnu-efi is the lower level library and it is the one that is expected to provide HII code where needed, rather than the higher level, if I implement this. It is best that you define the APIs and backfill support code in your code.
